Application May '12, 1931. S'erialNo. 610,110 I s Glaims; (c1. eas -1.5)

This invention relates to containers, and has for an object to provide acontainer of new and improved type composed of transparent sheetmaterial, and'filled and closed in an improved manner. 7

A further object of the invention is to provide a transparent containerof approximately conical form, with means facilitating the filling ofthe container from the base of the cone, and providing means at the apexof the cone for discharging the contents.

A further object of the invention is to provide a container whichincludes inthe base of the conical structure a shouldered ring intowhich a 1 disk is inserted for closing, and with a closure for theiapexof the cone for handling.

The invention therefore comprises a conically shaped container oftransparent flexible material having its apex folded over and secured,and-a base formed as a shoulderedring with a disk insertedinto the ringand seated upon the shoulder as a closure. I

The drawing illustrates" invention and the iviews therein are asfollows:

Figure 1 is .a view ofjthe improved container in elevation,

Figure 2 is a view: diametrical section,;taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1,and

broken away.

Like characters of reference indicate corres- I pending parts throughoutthe severalviews. I

The improved container, which forms the subject matter of. thisapplication is-especially designed for marketing' and containing suchliquids as milk, although it isfnot limited in its utility 1 to suchmaterial y-I comprises a base 10, composed of anyappr ve'd material. Inpractice, it

has been found desirable to mold this base ,of

some fibrous materiaLsuchas paper pulp, but

the invention is in no way limited to this exact, material. The ring isreduced to form a shoulder drawing, it is overlapped at 14 and the edgesSecured in any approved manner as by'heating the material itself or bythe useof an adhesive.

anebodim nt of th m e e .jbe modified and changed in various wayswithtime container in vertical Figure a is arr inverted i planjview withpart e or tapered end is folded over as shown at 15"?and is secured alsoby heat or adhesive, and in addition, a member 16 is applied thereto. IThis latter member may bea staple, an eyelet, or any form of fasteningmember and is designed more especially in assistingin handling thecontainer when filled, but also prevents the adhering parts fromseparating.

Seated upon the shoulder 11 is a disk 17 which may be made of any sheetmaterialfound desirable. For filling the container, therefore, it

is inverted and filled from the base and when filled, the disk 1'1forced to seat in the usual well known manner to close the container bysuch disk closure.

I For discharging the contents of the container, the-apex below thefolded end 15 is cut off and the contents poured out. If only part ofthe contents are poured out, the top is then twisted to form a tight orrelatively tight closure. In this manner, a part only of the contentsmay be used and the container closed for future use.

Of course, the container herein illustrated may out departing from theinvention herein set forth and hereinafter claimed.

The invention is hereby claimed as follows: 1. A container comprising aninternally shouldered ring, a conical body erected upon the exterior ofthe ring, means closing the apex of the conical body, and a disk forclosing the ring upon the shoulder.

2. A container comprising a base composed as a ring having an internallyinset shoulder and an upstanding part, a conical body of transparentsheet material erected upon and secured to the exterior, of saidupstanding part, and a disk closure forced into the ring and seated uponthe shoulder.

3. A container comprising an annular base having an annular shouldertherein, a conical transparent body built upon the exterior of the jbase and extending thereabove, the apex of said conical body beingsealed and provided with a fastening member, and a disk closure for thean-v nular base adapted to be forced to seat upon the shoulder.

4. A container comprising a ring having internal and external rabbets, acontainer body seated inone rabbet, and a closure seated in anotherrabbet.

5. A container comprising a ring having internal and external rabbets, aterete container body seated in one rabbet, and a closure seated inanother rabbet.

6. A container comprising a base ring having an upper external rabbet,and a lower internal rabbet, a terete container body seated in theexternal rabbet, and a disk seated in the internal rabbet and closingthe container.

'7. A container comprising a base ring having an external rabbet with acomically inclined side wall, and an internal rabbet, a terete containerbody seated in the external rabbet and coinciding with the taper of thewall, and a disk seated
